The paper identifies diverse viruses in wild deer across the U.S., including known pathogens and new putative viruses, highlighting potential for pathogen spillover.

The paper measures seroprevalence of H5N1 and SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in owned and feral cats in Philadelphia, finding rare H5N1 exposure but common SARS-CoV-2 exposure.

This paper describes a table-top exercise to evaluate multi-agency response to a hypothetical zoonotic disease outbreak and identifies challenges and recommendations for improving cross-agency coordination.

The paper identifies a novel bandavirus as the likely cause of a 2020 black vulture mortality event using metagenomic sequencing.

The paper investigates factors associated with a 2021 avian mortality event, finding that birds consuming supplemental feed and ground foragers were significantly represented in affected samples.

The paper uses metagenomic sequencing to investigate a wildlife mortality event in songbirds, finding no single pathogen but highlighting the utility of metagenomics in such investigations.

The paper examines how urbanization affects gene flow and genetic diversity in pumas across rural and urban landscapes in Colorado, finding reduced gene flow in urban areas but no change in genetic diversity.
